The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat is the world’s leading resource for professionals focused on the inception, design, construction, and operation of tall buildings and future cities. Founded in 1969 and headquartered at Chicago’s historic Monroe Building, the CTBUH is a not-for-profit organization with an Asia Headquarters office at Tongji University, Shanghai, a Research Office at Iuav University, Venice, Italy; and an Academic Office at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago. CTBUH facilitates the exchange of the latest knowledge available on tall buildings around the world through publications, research, events, working groups, web resources, and its extensive network of international representatives. The Council’s research department is spearheading the investigation of the next generation of tall buildings by aiding original research on sustainability and key development issues. The Council’s free database on tall buildings, The Skyscraper Center, is updated daily with detailed information, images, data, and news. The CTBUH also developed the international standards for measuring tall building height and is recognized as the arbiter for bestowing such designations as “The World’s Tallest Building.”

作品名稱：Convertible Hospital

設計概念：
Each year , 1,000 or more people die in the war because when military conflicts between two or more organizations，including wars and armed conflicts that are taking place throughout the world and continuing to result in violent deaths.

There are many organizations fighting in Syria, including the Islamic State, the Syrian opposition and the Syrian government. A convertible hospital provide the most immediate medical emergency in the country which often happened war such us Syria, Israel, Palestine, Ukraine and Iraq. When the war happened , In addition to downsizing the entire building to below the ground, building blocks can be quickly remove and be shipped by helicopter to the surrounding areas. The idea of building is originated from China’s traditional skills – Luban lock. "Luban Lock" is a three-axis combination of building blocks, there are several forms, the six groups of the most common and six different blocks combined with each other into a square. Until today, some rural carpenters in China, "Luban Lock" are still handed down from generation to generation. The design of the building block is also the same as the Luban lock has six types. Those six types respectively emergency room, surgery room, recovery room, classrooms, connecting corridors and the block with lightweight material which can be separated at any time. The way to decrease the building is the groove of wood structure combined each other, and use a vertical elevator as a support for the building. With this convertible hospital, the most effective combination of the medical field is made and can be combined with the upper and lower. These areas of medicine are effectively protected on the ground when a war takes place and they can extend their lives and provide better health care and learning for people in countries where war zones are frequent.

Ancient Huizhou Building is located in the mountain. We place the skyscraper in Yellow Mountain, which is famous for its pines, sea of clouds. Starting with gather and reside as the design concept, Huizhou Architectural culture center, the skyscraper full of regional culture, will strengthen the modern people’s attention to the tradition. In this project, we have integrated the important elements of Huizhou ancient buildings, such as Ma Tau wall, window grilles, gatehouse, patio, etc. to the stack combination in vertical height, remodeling a vibrant and commemorative Huizhou Building System.

While NASA so far has proposed no new missions beyond our solar system, scientists and engineers are sketching out possible technologies that might one day help to get us to outer space. Closer to home, this primary architectural design working on techniques to help us cross greater distances to another planet which like our mother earth. Any humans living in space for long periods of time need life-support, the amount of food and water needed becomes too large to take. In this Spacecraper, we contain four immense modules which could grow our own food and recycling our water along the travel between planetary systems. When we arrived to our destination which is like our eco-system, the modules can immediately deploy on the planet surface, and build a new colony city easily, and the Spacecraper would go back to earth to refill new modules and keep looking for another suitable planet for humankind.
